eggs in the black hot depths

During the fabulous sex dances of the Phlexx, trillions of tiny eggs are released and fertilized. Vast clouds of them drift away and down, into the blackness.

Billions of them perish along the way, eaten by voracious predators or destroyed by sudden eruptions of scalding water from the ocean floor. Those that survive reach the coolest, deepest part of the water. There they hatch into tiny, ciliated, single-celled microlarvae. The larvae swim toward the huge "black smokers" found in those trenches, attracted by their chemical and thermal signatures.
